It was one of the largest city settlements of the indus valley civilization. It is sometimes referred to as "an ancient Indus valley metropolis". It was the most developed and advanced city in South Asia, during its peak. It had great sense of city planning, the roads were nicely built, excellent drainage system with drains along the streets. There was no shortage of food and grains as they used to store them in bigger godowns. It was built around 2600 B.C and abandoned around 1500 B.C. It is located at Sindh, Pakistan.

The city had a central marketplace, with a large central well. Individual households or groups of households obtained their water from smaller wells. Waste water was channeled to covered drains that lined the major streets. Some houses, presumably those of wealthier inhabitants, include rooms that appear to have been set aside for bathing, and one building had an underground furnace (hypocaust), possibly for heated bathing. Most house have inner courtyards, with doors that opened onto side-lanes. Some buildings were two-storeyed.
